Nature Is Nonpartisan is an American environmental advocacy nonprofit organization founded in 2025 with the stated goal of depoliticizing environmental conservation.[1][2]

History

Nature Is Nonpartisan was launched in 2025 by environmental advocate and author Benji Backer, who serves as its chief executive officer.[2][3] Backer states he was motivated to start the organization to address the partisan nature of environmental politics in the United States in order to pursue effective conservation solutions and policies.[3][4]

Goals and agenda

Nature Is Nonpartisan seeks to "revive America's nonpartisan environmental legacy" by building a movement that appeals to American citizens regardless of political affiliation.[1] The organization's staff is intentionally structured to include perspectives from across the political spectrum citing that nature and environmental stewardship are common interests to all within the United States.[3]

Core objectives include coordinating public advocacy to help citizens engage elected officials on environmental issues, building broad support for environmental action among diverse demographic and political groups nationwide and connecting individuals to active conservation groups.[1][3]

Activities and policy focus

Nature Is Nonpartisan primarily focuses on grassroots advocacy through public outreach, participating in conservation policy forums and general coalition-building to promote nonpartisan support for environmental issues.[5][1] The 2025 action plan prioritized forest restoration and wildfire prevention, improving water quality and infrastructure, enhancing coastal disaster resilience, and bolstering land stewardship in the United States.[1][6]

Organizational structure

The organization is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in the United States.[7]

Public reception and influence

News coverage has discussed Nature Is Nonpartisan as part of broader discussions on environmental advocacy outside traditional partisan frameworks.[8][4] It has been described as seeking to reframe environmental issues as shared values rather than politically divisive topics.[1][2]
